Films You Didn't Expect to be that good

Last night I watched an Aussie movie called "Malcolm"... I googled it later, and apparently it was a cult film when it came out in the 80's. It starred a very young Coliin Friels as a type of *** - sauvant... he appeared 'simple' when dealing with people, but was a technical genius. He teamed up with a criminal, and they set out to rob a bank using some complicated gadgetry....
It was hilarious, sad, and heartwarming... an absolute gem!

I REALLY enjoyed The Lovely Bones, which was a surprise as I hated the book. Many years ago we went to the pictures and missed the film that we wanted to see so watched Body of Evidence with Madonna in, and I loved it!

Oh, yes! I teach music, and will be doing Film Music with students later this year.... I'm thinking I could use this, if I can still get a copy of it! LOVE Penguin Cafe Orchestra

I really loved Juno too. Also Marley and Me. (embarrassing I know) Watched it on a plane and everyone was snivelling at the end. Watched The Help last night - not brilliant. I have also really enjoyed X men and Star trek films in my time.

I don't usually go for period dramas, but I reluctantly watched 'The Young Victoria' when it came on TV a while back. I absolutely loved it! What a lovely, tender, romantic film.
I also remember going to see 'Liar Liar' with a friend, even though I wasn't keen on Jim Carrey and I'm almost ashamed to say it's one of my favourite films now
